Rickshaw Black Tea 450 Grams

Been trying to recreate Hong Kong milk tea-- the nice strong stuff with lots of dimension, not the weak cheap tasting kind.This one was perfect as the main base per liter of water:Rickshaw - 4 TBSPLipton black - 2 TBSPPuerh - 1 TBSPIt was perfect and just like my fav place in Hong Kong <3----- The full recipe I lifted from a user Reddit -----eon380 commented 1 yr. agoI've tried at home and the method I learned from a YouTube clip of a chachaanteng sifu is:4 tablespoons black tea (rickshaw brand if possible) 2 tablespoons Lipton black tea 1 tablespoons puerh tea1.Boil (covered) for 8mins in 1L water2.Strain the tea; this is when you use a silk stocking or some other fine sieve. Strain a few times (8 is what the video says, but I'm unsure if it makes much difference).3.Throw away the leaves and keep the tea.4.Boil (uncovered) for 8 minutes. You should be left with really smooth concentrated tea!5.Now you can stir evaporated milk into the tea, until it reaches the right color (up to your preference). It turns a beautiful caramel color and it's so satisfying to see.I've had good results with this method and it's fun to do it too, and you can tweak the amounts of each tea, the duration of boiling etc to your liking! I've found that it only keeps in the fridge for a few days though, after 2-3 nights in the fridge the texture changes. If you end up trying it this way, tell me how it turns out!

This is certainly expensive but you get that delicious HK milk tea flavor that no other tea can get you. A nice weekend ritual for me.

The best tea on the market.

Great tease! Much better than the Lipton brand. This is my favorite tea from now on.

Just like the Rickshaw black tea we used to be able to buy from our local oriental supermarket many years ago. The tea was packaged and sent from Hong Kong. The price is a bit steep but worth it. We found if we boil the tea for abiut 5 minutes, it taste and smell like the Hong Kong style milk tea. It is also fine when I make regular tea using my own blend of Assam and this Rickshaw Ceylon.

Very good taste!

The best tea one can get in US to re-produce Hong Kong style milk tea. It is worth the extra cost to get it shipped from HK.

Like the tea. Just like the old HK milk tea. Good.
